Ever notice that Republicans can’t even be happy when they win? They’re still out crying “election fraud” over a few races we managed to prevail on. It’s exhausting.

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

So if a Republican Senator thinks Matt Gaetz is unqualified and unfit to be AG based on his words and deeds, the richest man in the world will spend a fortune trying to get them voted out of office. MAGA rules through threats, fear, and intimidation.

Rep. Goldman has been and will continue to be an important voice in defending democracy and fighting back against the worst impulses of the incoming Trump administration. Give him a follow.
I know a lot of people are worried, but we must redouble our efforts to preserve and protect our democracy.
I created a Bluesky account to be as accessible as possible as we navigate the next few years and advocate for our communities and our democracy.
I'm all in on this fight. Are you?

NANCY MACE: Yes, and absolutely, and then some. Someone with a penis in the women's locker room -- that's not ok. I'm a victim of abuse myself. I'm a rape survivor.

Four nights a week, a group of biologists strap on headlamps and slip into the forests of Northern California to kill barred owls.
Their effort is one of the country’s most audacious attempts to stop the spread of a species officials consider invasive.
